I have to say Fall is my favorite season!This is the first year I've been able to decorate!

I still have a couple of small pumpkins to put around the living room, but I wanted to post what I'd already done so that I'd have a record for next year.

Isn't it beautiful?!Every time I look around it makes me happy!Here's the best part, it all came from our friends the Guiney's!The corn and little pumpkins came from their home garden!I am super excited to try to grow it in our garden next year!

I found this old window at a garage sale last week for $5!I repainted it blue (from turquoise) to compliment my kitchen.I LOVE IT ... but can't help feeling like it needs a little something...Got any ideas?

I started working at State Farm Insurance in 1999 and providently I met Jennifer, who had to check my work for my level advancement. We grew close when their son, Hunter was born.I remember the day I stopped by her desk and heard, "Guess what Derrick wants to do..."Together they started a lawn care business, ProLawn, followed by the Mulch Yard and now a Harvest Store.

There are those...

...that listen to your endless kid stories about everyday events....that open their hearts to whoever comes into your family, unexpectedly....give a 5 year old boy a memory he'll never forget....that you can share your worst day with and laugh together at the end....that bring you firewood in the middle of winter when your husband has the flu....that when you walk into their house, you immediately feel at home....that welcome you into their life, open their hearts and call you friend....that become an abundant source of comfort and blessing....that become friends.
